I am standing at the borderline: shadows and sunlight, life and death. I have my mind made up, and I wait patiently for the bell's tolling. Then it rings. Loud in my ears, but it's a sweet sound. It's the sound of Bella's lulling voice. "No, Edward, look at me." I step toward sunlight, a ghost of a smile dancing on my lips. This is it. Bella will ease me to my death.

And then. A force, unbelievable in its strength, hurdles into me. I throw my arms over it, containing it, trying to see what it is. I slide my eyes open. And I see Bella. Then I know I'm dead. And that Carlisle was right—there is a way for vampires to get to heaven. Because there's no way this is hell. If it was hell, Bella would not be here. "Amazing. Carlisle was right," I murmur.

This is the miracle I've been waiting for—something I've wanted to believe, but never really could.
